I can ship to Steamboat if costs are covered bcolvin. I’ll message you

Bought the wrong ones and can’t send back. Free to whoever can pick them up in Lafayette, CO. OEM and brand new. Photos show part numbers.

I ended up doing the same. Jack stand under the bell housing still leaves plenty of room to get the flywheel and oil pan off. Clutch and flywheel were a piece of cake. The oil pan on the other hand… Holy cow. That’s got to be one of the worst on-your-back jobs out there. I used the factory jack...

Found the oil pan bolt torque in the 2F FSM: 53-104 in-lb 0.6-1.2 kg-m

I’m about to order a 12101-61013 but looks like it’s for a FJ40. Will it fit a FJ60? I assume all 2F pans are the same but I’d rather not ship it back. Thanks in advance! Also, bonus points if you have the oil pan bolt torque spec.

It’s out! I worked with what I have and it took me a while. How someone could do this at a campground is beyond me. Impressive. Here’s my sequence. This is not a ‘how to’ as parts of my process were pretty sketchy: 1. Don’t do what I did…work on a sloped driveway in 100 degrees heat with no...

Ohhh, that’s a good option. I wonder if I could just have the beam/wood across the shifter opening in the body? Seems like it would be strong enough.

I have the screw jack under the plan now, but need to get the oil pan off. I think I can wedge two pieces of cut to length 2x4 under the bell housing. There’s a flat surface on either side where the bottom cover bolts on. Hard to explain but I’ll share a pic…if it works. The engine looks like...

I’m just about to start this job and I’m wondering how you support the engine with the trans out if you’re also pulling the oil pan? Maybe there will be an obvious spot for a Jack once I start to pull things apart but I’m not seeing it now. I’m pulling the trans to rebuild the T-case, but I’m...

Not sure how I didn't find this thread. Amazing. Thank you.

Yes, it’s a manual. So helpful. Thank you! Also, the video above is gold. I found a few others that were very incomplete when I looked. Thanks!

Yup, have the manual and use it for everything. Much better than most FSMs. That’s said, there’s usually some very valuable advice from those who have done the job before that you don’t find in the FSM. Also nice to get that wisdom recorded in a forum and not lost.

Hi All, I have a groan/rumble when coasting at 55mph and higher. It’s worse when I’m out of gear. I suspected the transfer case, got under the car and pulled on the driveshaft…and immediately saw that there was play. Ha, that didn’t take long to diagnose. The output shaft that connects to the...

Finally fixed a nagging stall issue! The sniper has worked great except for a frustrating stall at idle that occurs when the engine is warming up. It's most likely when coasting to a stop with the engine partially warmed up. I know others have experienced this too. My fix was to reduce how...

Inner boot slides right on. Super easy. I used gear oil for lube as whatever you put on there would just get washed away by gear oil anyway as the shift mechanism is exposed to the oil from the gearbox.
